Congressman Joe Kennedy IIIKennedy, the 36-year-old grandson of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and great-nephew of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy, has been a low-key presence in the House since he was first elected in his Boston-area district in 2012. But he's emerged as a major voice in the resistance, delivering several speeches in all night sessions that have been viewed millions of times on the internet.
In this interview with Sheila Hamilton, Kennedy talks about his fight to maintain mental healthcare, addiction benefits, and maternal care for tens of millions of Americans.
